Frank Sinatra Movie...

Martin Scorsese is directing a new movie about a young Frank Sinatra. I have been asked to submit some headshots of myself for the part. Not that I look anything like him. But if you had to recreate a famous Sinatra photo, which one would it be?
(I hope its ok to post those photos here) :)

I normally don't care for Sinatra but this picture was always something special. Something about the bold checked suit with the undone polka dot tie... very flashy, yet laid-back and casual at the moment.

Foxxy Sinatra?!

Horror Story Alert:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/5341373/Jamie-Foxx-in-the-running-to-play-Frank-Sinatra.html

Allegedly Jamie Foxx is in the running for the part...

This must be a joke! Or a Bad Prank. Or both maybe.... Belated April Fools?

Thank God Frank's fam is tied in with this and has Veto-Power as previously stated.... Hopefully they use it....

Seriously though... What are they thinking? So far I've heard Clooney (Not Bad... Not right either) ... Brad Pitt? Ben Afleck? MATT DAMON?!

And Johnny Depp? As in Cap'n Jack/CryBaby?
Characters like Dillinger like in Public Enemies are one thing.. Sinatra is completely different....

If I had my say I'd pick someone like Michael Buble or Harry Connick Jr. for the early years and then Sebastian Anzaldo (Semi-famous Sinatra-a-like now performing in Vegas) for the later years....

Am I missing something? Jamie Foxx is black, isn't he? How could he play Sinatra?
The same way Will Smith could play James West, or Cedric the Entertainer could play Ralph Kramden...;)..."politically-correct tampering with icons".

I think Foxx would do well as Sammy Davis, Jr....but, like Feraud, I think James Franco would be a good choice for The Chairman.
